It's very different from the ESP - much more organized and better playing by Marzette. It's always expensive, though seems to show up a fair amount on eBay. Still don't own one, but have heard it a couple of times. There are certainly more affecting LPs out there - not to poo-poo it, just sayin'.

I've got a burn from the master of this (she's my friend's wife), and really dig it, moreso than the first one. Be curious to know what others think. I have to give it a few more listens, but I thought it's more live and spontaneous than the first one. I really dig it too. AAJ? I've met her a few times, but haven't talked to her in years. Great player! Yeah, her husband Andrey and I go way back, and she's a wonderful lady - not to mention a fantastic player.

Yeah, that's why I do eBay - nobody asks any questions!

and with "HANDMADE PAINTING COVER IN VG+" You have to remember that funk/spiritual-jazz collectors don't care AT ALL about condition. I know some of them, and I've passed on wasted shit that they snap up and are fired on!

It NEVER used to go for that much. Absurd!

Richard Grossman Trio - Even Your Ears - (Hatology) w/ Ken Filiano, Alex Cline. Very nice!

Andrew Hill - Grass Roots - (BN UA pressing) Andrew Hill - One For One ("Pax" session) - (BN orig twofer) Sam Rivers - Involution ("Change" session) - (BN orig twofer) Andrew Hill - Point of Departure - (BN NY mono)

I mean, ok, the Watts was $200 more than it should've gone for, but this is ree-fucking-diculous: Khan Jamal on Dogtown

I think Ornette needs a "working" band to really get into it. But that's just me.

Good to know... For whatever reason, I like the title that was chosen.

$40. Great record. I'm still pissed that the Watts goes for at least twice what it's worth, but damn, most of it does.

Dean Stockwell would've been crazier. I know Blackwood's a lawyer, but I'd be amazed if he could negotiate that contract!

Yeah, especially new ones with Izenzon and Moffett!

The French dude sold it for $350. It's too much, I think, considering what others in the series go for, and the fact that the Curran and the Valdo are far rarer. I mean, it's GOOD but c'mon... Oh, well, the Valdo isn't Dixon-produced, but you get what I'm saying.

Two words: Tina Brooks.

Freddie Hubbard - Open Sesame - (BN UA Mono blue/white)

Any Clifford is good to have around!

Great one that I haven't spun in some time. Will give it a drop when I get home.

Nice piece - thank you. And to have heard the band in the photos... I was there. No shit - that's off the hook! Iverson's on with "Grass Roots." I always really liked that tune a lot, and found it stranger than most people seem to give it credit for.

Great record. Also had it on cassette at one point (dubbed). Would love an orig LP of that one, and I'm not much of a Saturn collector. It's just so cool!

Want a profit?

That's probably the best thing I've ever read about this album, and I think you nailed it as far as its overall mood. Heck, you may have just described Hill's entire musical journey, for that matter! Yes!

Used to race road, through undergrad college, then got out of it upon moving to NYC/Chicago. Trying to spin around again for kicks, without illusions of being a Cat 3 again, but at least getting some fresh air to counteract the bad grad student behavior that I so easily indulge.

HELL YEAH> Yeah, the Estes is pretty sweet...
